Story
This bashful little gentleman was taken into our rescue after befriending a man walking to Pennsylvania in June. Due to the hot pavement, Nick, unfortunately, developed blisters, resulting in the man carrying him for about a mile before both found rest in the shade from our front trees. Though Nick runs on the small side for pits, his loving personality is enough to fill a room. Ever polite, Nicky patiently waits his turn for meals and playtime. He has been known to give leg hugs to those he has established relationships, and will routinely check in on you to ensure your well-being as you go about chores. He loves dips in the kiddie pool, collecting and showing toys of a wide variety, and sampling local snack spreads. One of his secret (but oh so unique traits) is the noise he will occasionally make when playing with a toy; some would say it resembles that of Daffy Duck! If you are interested in adopting Nick, please note that you will need to meet Pet Rescue North’s general requirements of a fenced yard, a vet reference, no children under the age of 6, and must be a permanent resident of Jacksonville.

Story
This handsome gentleman was found as a stray after what seems to have been a rough start in life. Gunner is a loyal and playful friend, especially with his kennel neighbor, Diamond. He will patiently wait for her before running out to play in the yard or plopping into the kiddie pool. Gunner is shy upon first meeting someone, but once that trust is built, he shows excitement with subsequent interactions. One of his sweetest traits is his desire to be your shadow and help with whatever it is you may be doing, as he simply wants to be part of your day. With his cautious nature, he is more comfortable around women so will do best in a home with a lady to call his own. Please note, however, that he has not shown aggression to men. He gives them a wide berth and seems to take much longer to trust a man, likely due to his past experiences. If you are interested in adopting or fostering this sweet soul, contact Peggy at 904-477-1000 or PRNorth@yahoo.com. To adopt or foster, PRN requires the following: fenced yard, vet reference, no children in the home under the age of 6, and must be a permanent resident of the Jacksonville area.

My name is Loki, I'm 11 months old about 69 lbs a pit/lab mix. I am neutered and chipped. I'm up to date on my shots. I'm cream with yellowish eyes and I have a little mole on my nose. I love to play with dog toys outside and need a yard that I can run around in as I have lots of energy. My favorite game is tug a war and chasing after balls. I love to give lots of kisses. I am good with kids. I am potty trained and will let you know when I need to go outside to use the restroom. I will be a great family addition.

I'm sad to post this but we have to rehome our 4 1/2 year old pitbull. I'm pregnant and she's become too much for me to handle. She is fixed and UTD on her shots. She is good with other dogs! XL kennel included. Disclaimer she is terrified of going down the stairs! But she is super sweet and hyper needs a big yard!

This sweet boy is Bandit. He is an extremely loving cuddle bug. He gets along great with kids and dogs (we have 3 and 12 yo boys and a 80lb goldendoodle). My friend found him in green cove and couldn’t foster him. He has never seen the inside of a shelter and I couldn’t bring myself to take him to one. I got an hold of original owner and they surrendered their rights d/t the many attempts he has made to escape their home. Since being with us for the past 6 months Bandit has not tried to runaway, he just prefers to go anywhere and everywhere we go lol. I finally noticed he just wants to hop in the car and if he knows we are leaving he will run into the garage and try to get in the car. He otherwise does well in the house with no destruction and we do not kennel him when we leave. Bandit does have anxiety when it comes to thunder storms and we medicate him during those instances. He is such a sweet and loving boy and deserves a good home. He recently also had a dental cleaning :).

Hi Im MJ, I love to play, play, play! cuddles and kisses! I like greeting you at the door with ❤️ licks. I get sooo excited! I will sleep in my crate, but the best is sleeping in bed with you. I like to be by your side always. I get sad when Im alone. At the doggy pool I made a friend who taught me to play in the water. I was scared before. Now, I want to go everyday, but I go a few times a week. I get a little raaambunctiuos sometimes when I see my friends, so my mommy comes in and we play all together. I like the dog park too. I ruuuuun and play fetch there. My favorite is racing with friends. I’m fast! I have pretty white teeth and different color eyes, one brown and one blue. Mommy says that makes me special. What do you think? Oh yeah, I love to chew. Chewy toys and treats are the best. Mom says no shoes or other cool stuff 🙄. Then she gives me my toys. 🦴 🧸 🎾🥏 If you want a friend and want some fun loving energy, Im your girl. Let’s do this! ❤️ MJ
